Today was a very spring-ish day. One of those warm days with snow melting and puddles forming and the breeze not nearly as cold as usual. I took a few shots to illustrate this.
First of all, a sure sign of spring in these parts is the ice jam. The ice broke in Tracy earlier this weekend and has been surging its way through the rest of the river. This was mid-afternoon:
This was early evening. In a few short hours, the ice had reached the gazebo. Stay safe, gazebo!
Spring also means bugs. Blessedly, mosquitoes don't arrive until mid-May, but ladybugs, sap flies, and house flies are suddently abounding in the warmer weather:
Also springish: the March-April issue of Saltscapes is finally out, which means my Grampie gets his 15 minutes of fame. ;) Many thanks to Saltscapes for a great write-up.
Finally, spring means we can start enjoying my parents' screened-in porch again. What better time than a spring-ish afternoon for a tea party in the sun room?
Happy March! :D
